Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

Neural circuits in the brain are highly sophisticated biological systems, orchestrating ultra-fast, parallel computations ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

Recently, there has been convergence of thought by researchers in the fields of memory, perception, and neurology that the ...

New research from the University of St Andrews, the University of Copenhagen and Drexel University has developed AI computational models that predict the degeneration of neural networks in amyotrophic ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn and the University of Bonn are reconstructing neural networks in the laboratory and investigating new mechanisms of signal transmission in the brain ...

Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled ...
